Favorite Color Blue

Sometimes starting a project is from being inspired

by a favorite paper you just bought or sometimes 

by something you get like this notebook my husband

gave me from his work.  It was blue and had business

writing on it but then I thought hey... I have my favorite

papers from Authentique that I could use to cover it

and after rummaging around my room I found lots

of little bits of things to use to make this journal for

my road trips this summer.... Fun, fun, fun.... and now

I am ready and I made a couple of cards too from

the leftover scraps that I had.  

 The flowers and bling I used from

Prima... I soo love these colors...

 Sometimes I know I get a little carried

away with putting things on my projects

but this was quick and easy using one of

their tags and to add to the love theme I

added little heart brads in silver on the 

corners.  The flower and ribbon

 I had in my stash and it worked great.

This card was also inspired by the tag.

It says "The Best and Beautiful Things

cannot be seen... they must be felt within

the Heart"-Helen Keller.  I loved this

so I cut out a Spellbinders die and put it

behind it to fancy it up and added another

tag with the clocks on it to give it a sense of time.

The papers are so pretty all I had to do was

add a fancy bow and some tiny pearls and

that was all it needed.  Hope you like it!

I have lots to do out in the yard this weekend

 so I will have some more things in a few days to

share... but until then... happy creating to you :)

Lots of Hugs,  Teresa
